THE DAY OF GRACE SHOR

Connecticut, Kentucky, California

all lately given proof that they have
thrown off the Radical Yoke' and de

day of giacoof the Radical revolution
ists is drawing to a close, and already,
the New York Express and other
Northern papers tell us that the Rad
ical office seekers are abandoning the
cause and seeking refuge in the Con
servative ranks. They wilfsoon swear
that they never were Radicals, just
like some of their Southern apostolic
proselytes are preparing to do. After
doing all the rascality in their power,
they sneak into the conservative ranks,

AMNESTY PROCLAMATION.
Washington, Rept. 8 —The follow
ing Proclamation was issued this morn
ing :
A Proclamation.
By the President of the. United States
of America.
Whereas, In the month of July,
A. D., 1801, the two houses of Con
gress, with extraordinary unanimity,
solemnly declared that the war then
existing was not waged on the part of
the government in any spirit of op
pression, nor for any purposo of con
quest or subjugation, nor for the pur
pose of overthrowing or interfering
with the rights or established iiißtitu l
lions of tho States, but to defend and
maintain the supremacy of the Constii
tut ion and to preserve tho Union with
all the dignity, equality and rights of
the several States unimpaired, and
that as soon as these objects should bo
accomplished, the war ought to cease :
And, whereas, the President of tho
United States, on the eighth dav of
December, A. D., 1863, and on the
twenty-sixth day of March, A 1).
1864, did with the objects of suppress
ing the existing rebellion, and of in
ducing all persons to return to their
loyalty, and of restoring the authority
of the United States, issue a procla
mation offering amnesty and pardon to
all persons who had directly or indi
rectly participated in the then existing
rebellion, except ns in those proclama
tions was specified and reserved : And
whereas, the President of tho United
States did, on tho 29th day of May,
A. D-, 1865, issue a further proolama.
tion, with the same objoets before
mentioned, and to the end that tho
authority of the government of tho
United States might be restored, and
that peace and order and freedom
might be ostabl shed : and the Prcsi*>
dent did by the said last proc'unntion
proclaim and declare that ho thereby
granted to all persons who had di
rectly or indirectly participated in tho
then existing rebellion, except as
therein aoc?ptcd, amnesty and pardon,
with the restoration of all rights of
property, except as to slaves, and ex
cept in certain cases where legal pro
ceedings had been instituted, but upon
one condition, that all such persons
should tnko and subscribe an oath
therein prescribed, which oath should
bo registered for permanent pieservn
tion : And whereas, in and by tl e
said last mentioned proclamation of the
29th of May, A. lb, 1865, fourteen
extensive classes of persons, therein
specially described, were altogether
excepted and excluded from the ben.
efits thereof: And whereas, the Pre.
Bident of tho United States did, on tho
2d day of April, A, lb. 1860, issue a
proclamation declaring that the insur
rection was at an end, and was thence
forth to be so regarded ; And whereas,
there now exists no organized armed
resistance, of misguided citizens or
others, to the authority of file United
States, tu the States of Georgia, South
Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Ar*
kansas, Mississippi, Florida and Texas,
and the laws can be sustained and en
forced therein by the proper civil au
thority, State or Federal, and the peo
ple of said States arc well and loyally
disposed, and have conformed, or if
permitted to do so will conform, in
their legislation, to the condition of
allairs growing out of the amendment,
to the Constitution of the U. States,
prohibiting slavery within tho limit
at.d jurisdict'on of the United States:
And whereas, there no longer exists
any reasonable ground to apprehend
within the States which were involved
in the late rebellion, any renewal
thereof, or any unlawful resistance by
the people of said States to the Con
stitution and laws of the U. Slhtes:
And whereas, large standing armies,
military occupation, martial law, mili
tary tribunals, and the suspension of
the privilege*of the writ of habeas
corpus, and the right of trial by jury,
are, in time of peace, dangerous to
public liberty, incompatible with the
individual rights of the citizen, con.
trary to the genius of the national re
sources, »nd ought not, therefore, to
be sanctioned or allowed, except in
eases of actual necessity for repelling
invasions, or suppressing insurrection
or rebellion; And whereas, a retalia
tion or vindictive policy, attended by
unnecessary disqualifications, pains,
penalties, confiscation and disfranchise
ment, now as always, could only tend
to hinder reconciliation among the
people arid national restoration, while
it must sariou-ly embarrass, obstruct,
and repress the popular energies and
national industry and enterprise-: And
whereas, for these reasons, it is now
deemed essential to tho public welfare
and to the more perfect restoration of
Constitutional law and order, that the
said last mentioned proclamation, so
as aforesaid issued on the 29th of May,
,A. D , 1865, should be modified, and
that the fell and beneficient pardon
conceded thereby, should be opened
and further exteuded to a large num
ber of the persons who, by its afore
said exceptions, have been hitherto
excluded from executive clemency.
Now, therefore, be it known that I,
Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States do hereby proclaim and
declare that the full pardon described
in tbe said proclamation of the 29th
day of May, A. D. 18G5, shall hence
forth be opened and extended to all
persons who directly or indirectly
participated in the late rebellion, with
the restoration of all privileges, immu
nities and rights of property, except
as to property with regard to slavery,
and except in cases of legal proceed,
ings under tho laws of the United
States, but upon this condition, never
theless, that every such person, who
shall seek to avail hitnsell ot this pro
clamation, shall take and subscribe
tho following oath, and shall cause the
same to be registered for permanent
preservation in the same manner and
with the same effect as with the oath
prescribed in the said proclamation of
tho 29th day of May, 1865, namely;
I do solemnly swear or affirm, in
presence of Almighty God, that I
will henceforth laithlully support, pro
tect and djferid the Constitution of
the United States and the union of
the States thereunder, and that 1 will
in like inatiacr abide by and faithful,
ly support all laws and proclamations
which have been made during tho
late rebellion with reference to tho
emancipation of sla.-es. So help me
God.
The following persons and no others
arc excluded from the benefits of this
proclamation, and of the said procla
mation of tho 29th day of May, 1865,
namely :
First—The chief or pretended chief
executivo officers, including the Pros,
idend, tho Vico President and all
heads of departments of the pretended

the said pretended Confederate Gov

To the Prisoners of War and of
Arbitrary Arrests in the United
States of America.
At the late session of the Congress
of the United States, that body passed
a resolution, on July 10th, 1867, ap
pointing certain parties as a committee
to investegate “ The Treatment of
Prisoners of War and Union Citizens
held by the Confederate Authorities
during the late Rebellion,” at the same
time refusing to extend tbe investiga
tion to the prisoners of war, victims of
arbitrary power, and military usurpa
tion by the authority of the Federal
administration. The partial, vindic
tive and wicked purpose of the Con
gress to prevent, distort, and suborn
tho truth of history, has made it the
duty of every American citizen to look
to the honor of his country and the
preservation of the truth of history.
We all rnightwell imitate the exam
ple of the better son of Noah, and walk
backwards, and throw the mantle of
oblivion upon the nakedness of our
diunkcn parent, and forget all of the
past; but since a partial and false
representation of our public affairs is
to bo made by members of Congress
for the unholy and fiendish purpose of
perpetuating sectional bitterness, and
prolonging the unchristian and unnat.
ural strife of a ruined people, that
justice may be done to every man and
the truth of history may be vindicated,
I hereby most respectfully request
that all persons in possession of impor
tant information in regard to any of
these subjects, as well as the city bur
ningg, plantation devastations, the
murders, rapes and robberies, perpet
u ited under official sanction, either
civil or military, of tbe Federal au
thority, are earnestly requested to ad
dress the undeisigned stating in pre.
cise, simple and unexagerated terms,
a full statement of all the facts
known to the writer touching his own
imprisonment, or treatment of others,
either soldiers or citizens, giving, as
far as possible, names, places and
dates, with names of Federal officers
in oharge, and those instigating those
crimes.
The groat body of tho offioers and
soldiers in both armies were manifest
ly honest in purpose in the prosneu
tion of their terrible worbof death.—
The'history of wars demonstrates that
the vilest wen have charge of prisons.
A history of the cruelty to prisoners
on both sides in the late war, is one
which will “ make hell ashamed and
turn the cheek of darkness pale,” and
be, for our own history’s sake, forgot
ten ; but if told, it must be truly told,
that each party may be shamed into
silence by their crime. Not having
the people’s money to waste in postage
to kindle the fire of revenge, I will
trust to the kindness of tho sufferers)
to transmit to me, by mail, all com.
tnunicutions upon this subject at their
earliest convenience.
I am, very respectfully, your obe
dient servant.

Tho Mystery of Editing.
The world at large do not under
stand tho mysteries of a newspaper;
and, as in a watch, tho hands, that
are seen, are but the passive instru
ment of the spring which is never
seen, so, in a newspaper the most wor
thy causes or its prosperity arc often
least observed or known. Who sus
pects the benefit which a poper de
rives from the vigilance and the watch
ful fidelity of the publisher ? Who
pauses to think how much of the
pleasure of reading is derived from
tho skill and care of the printer? We
feel tho blemishes of the printer. We
feel tho blemishes of printing, if they
exist, but seldom observe tho excel
lencies.
We cat a hearty dinner, but do not
think of tho farmer that raised tbe
material thereof, or the cook that pre
pared them with infinite pains and
skill. But a cook of vegetables,
meats, pastries and infinite bon-bons,
has a paradisical office in comparison
with an editor 1 Boforo him pass in
review all the cxchapgo newspapers.
He is to know all their contents, to
mark for other eyes, tho matter that
requires attention. His scissors are
to be alert, and clip with incessant in
dustry all tho little items that togeth
er make up tho news department.—
Ho passes in review, each woek, every
State in the union, through the news
paper lons ho looks across the ocean
and sees strange lands, and following
the sun, he searches all around the
world for material. It will require
but one second’s time for the readers
to tako ia what two hours research
produced. By him arc road tho man
uscripts that swarm tho office like
flies in July. It is his frown that
dooms them. It is his hand that con
denses a whole page into a lioe. It is
his discreet sternness that restricts
sentimental obituaries, that gives
young poets a twig on which to sit
and sing their first lays.
And tho power behind the throne,
in newspapers as in higher places, is
sometimes as important as the throne
itself. Correspondents, occasional or
regular, stand in awe at that silent
power which has the last chance at an
artiolo, and may send it forth in glory
or humanity. And, in short, as the
body depends upon a good digestion,
so the health of a paper depends upon
that vigorous digestion whiob goes on
by means of the editor.
Ought they not to bo honored ?
And since little fame attends them,
they should at least have their crea
ture comforts multiplied. From that
dark and dismal den in which they
have so long had purgatorial residence,
they are at length translated.— U.
Ward Beecher.
It was a happy phrase of somebody
to call the writings of the brothers
Bulwar the Bidxcorks of British lite
rature.
the President Resign.
'inu New York Herald says, edito
rially :
“To make the people feel the full
•import of that which rests so heavily
upon them, Andrew Johnson should
resign and appeal to them. Let him
resign and demand that a convention
of all the States bo called to take mea
sures against this political ruin that
Congress is hurling against the Re
public. Let him tell the people that
he finds it impossible to resist entirely
this attempt of Congress to assume dic
tatorial power ani inaugurate new re
volution. Let him show to them tho
political picture as it exists—com
merce wrecked, the Treasury Depart*
meat in ruins, tho revenue adminis
tered for the benefit of those who hold
the offices, the wealth of the nation
squandered, an exhaustive Indian war
on hand for the benefit of agents and
contractors, half the States under mili
tary dictatorship, the other half threat
ened with similar government, cor
ruption everywhere, vice making a
throne of virtue, and tho country driv
ing madly through the same political
phases that preoeded the French Re
volution.”
Another Witness Come to Judgment.
—The notorious “Colorado Jewett,”
who has long been hobnobbing with
the Radicals, has returned to Washing
ton and throatens to open his budget of
secrets against them. The correspon
dent of the Boston Post writes:
The notorious W. Cornell Jewett
is here. He says he is willing to turn
State’s evidence against Charles Sum
ner aud other Radicals, and prove
their treasonable designs. He fut*
nishes tho key to the change in tbe
New York Tribune from General
Amnesty and Free Suffrage to Radi
calism and Revolution. It was through
him Mr. Sumner contracted with Mr.
Greeley that if the latter would stay
his advocacy of a General Amnesty
until the Radical party had broken
down the President and secured com
plete control of the South through
the military power, then they would
favor General Amnesty, a return of
the Southern States, and a restoration
of the Constitution. Mr. Jewett says
that they have now broken faith and
are benton subverting tho Government
destroying the Constitution, and dis
franchising the whole of the Southern
States. Every body knows what Jewett
is in politics, but he has certainly been
deep in Radical secrets, has been in
timate with both Sunnier and Greeley
and has been used by them and other
Rudical lights in the prosecution of
their schemes. Ilia evidence will be
interesting in this view.
The. Pardon Proclamation. —The
National Intelligencer of yesterday,
after repeating that the amnesty pro
clamation will have the legal effect of
relieving tho subjects of it from “ all
disqualifications,’’ admits that such
will not be the effect in fact. We
quote:
“It places tho great mass of tho
Southern people in an sttitudo to as
sert and maintain their rights and
privileges, and if, when finally passed
upon by the Supreme Court, obstruc
tions are still interposed by unauthor
ized agencies, military or otherwise
revolutionary, it will again becomo the
duty of the Excoutive to interfere and
carry into effect, at every hazard, the
mandate of the judicial authority.
And this, the country may rely upon,
will be done to the letter.”
It will be seen that tho courts aro
now admitted to be instruments ne
cessary to be employed before disquali
fication cau bo dono away with.
Instruments Requiring Stamps.
The following arc the instruments to
be stamped, and the stumps to be used
in ordinary business transactions. Cut
this out and preserve it for reference :
All notes and ovidcncc of debt, five
cents on each 8100; if under; SIOO,
five cents; if over, SIOO, five cents on
each additional SIOO or part thereof.
All receipts, for any amount with
out limit, over S2O, two cents ; if S2O,
or under, nothing.
All deeds and deeds of trust, fifty
cents on each SSOO in value of the
property conveyed, or the amount re - ,
cured; when a deed of trust is duly
stamped, the note secured must not
be; but they should be endorsed to
show the reason why.
All appraisements of estates or of
estrays, fivo cents on each sheet or
pieoe of paper.
Affidavits of every description are
exompt from stamp duty.
Acknowledgement to deeds, Ac., are
also exempt.

except for rent; when for rent, fifty
